Doin' My Time Chords & Lyrics by Johnny Cash
Doin' My Time
guitar chords lyrics
Capo 1st fret
E
On this old rock pile, with a ball and chain,
they call me by a number, not a name.
A E
Lord, Lord, gotta do my time. I gotta do my time,
B7 E
with an achin' heart on that gal of mine.
E
You can hear my hammer, you can hear my saw.
Gonna sing it like John Henry all day long.
A E
Lord, Lord, gotta do my time. I gotta do my time,
B7 E
with an achin' heart on that gal of mine.
Guitar solo:
| E | E | E | E |

When that old judge looked down at me,
said, "I'll put you in the penitentiary."
A E
Lord, Lord, gotta do my time. I gotta do my time,
B7 E
with an achin' heart on that gal of mine.
Guitar solo:

E
Well, now it won't be long, just a few more days.
They'll let me out of here.
A E
I'm gonna stay, Lord, Lord, with that gal of mine. With that gal of mine.
B7 E
She's waited for me while I've done my time.
